only 49!! Come on, us short people need this. Build several thousand. I like the Zero but I am a few centimeters too short for their bikes.
What!? No videos? Blasphemy!
u’re right what?, they should have build it with recycled cardboard, bamboo sticks & organic glue.
So it´s all electric to be environment friendly. But then it´s sculpted out of aluminium alloy blocks… Which creates waste and aluminium is not the most environment friendly material… So it kinda goes against the whole “environment friendly bike” thing.
The design is cool tho.
